Really?

Embrace self-management by April 30, or we'll give you a three-month severance package to leave.

By May, 210 Zappos employees, or 14% of the company, had taken the offer.

HolacracyManager-free operating structure that is composed, in theory, of equally privileged employees working in task-specific circles, often overlapping.

Roles are defined around the work, not people, and are updated regularly. People fill several roles.

Authority is truly distributed to teams and roles. Decisions are made locally.

The org structure is regularly updated via small iterations. Every team self-organizes.

Everyone is bound by the same rules, CEO included. Rules are visible to all.

HolacracyOne

Really?It's kind of deliciously ironic that self-management is being decreed from above.

People will say, ‘I like these five roles, and not these five’. Who does the other five?

Holacracy also doesn’t address compensation and promotion

It is easy to game the system of Holacracy, using its project-driven circle structure to essentially create a layer of middle management.

Oh yes, they exist!
